Anti-Forfeiture Statute Saves a Debtor's Exercise of Option to Renew Lease

Barry M. Klayman & Mark E. Felger

In a recent decision, Bankruptcy Judge Christopher S. Sontchi addressed the question of whether a Chapter 11 debtor, the tenant under a commercial lease, could exercise an option to renew the lease during the bankruptcy proceedings, even though the debtor was in default under the lease and the lease specified that it could not be renewed if defaults existed at the time the option was exercised.

The Recent Court and Regulatory Battles Behind the Net Neutrality Controversy

Barry Skidelsky
